Subject: [ 23/40] HID: Fix Speedlink VAD Cezanne support for some devices
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:11:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130925001044.473456675@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130925001041.939335518@linuxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Kriwanek <dev@stefankriwanek.de>

commit 06bb5219118fb098f4b0c7dcb484b28a52bf1c14 upstream.

Some devices of the "Speedlink VAD Cezanne" model need more aggressive fixing
than already done.

I made sure through testing that this patch would not interfere with the proper
working of a device that is bug-free. (The driver drops EV_REL events with
abs(val) >= 256, which are not achievable even on the highest laser resolution
hardware setting.)
